The 45th anniversary of the mobile police force was recently celebrated by its officers with an incredible exhibition of qigong and other physical skills. Lying on broken glass when a rock on one’s abdomen is being smashed with sledgehammers is a feat that requires using qigong techniques to prevent penetration by the glass pieces not to speak of withstanding the blows.

Tottenham's Son Heung-Min celebrates the winner against Manchester City. — AFP Photo LONDON — Tottenham ignored Harry Kane's latest injury woes as Son Heung-Min sealed a priceless 1-0 win over Manchester City after Hugo Lloris saved Sergio Aguero's penalty in a dramatic Champions League quarter-final first leg on Tuesday. Mauricio Pochettino's side earned a slender advantage thanks to Son's clinical strike late in the second half at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Viet Nam News Football MANCHESTER — Manchester United caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admitted his side were shown how much they still have to improve after being swept aside by an injury-hit Paris Saint-Germain 2-0 in the first leg of their Champions League last 16 tie on Tuesday. Presnel Kimpembe and Kylian Mbappe struck in a seven-minute spell just before the hour mark as PSG displayed their credentials to finally become champions of Europe for the first time, especially once they get the world’s most expensive player Neymar and Edinson Cavani back from injury. After a run of 10 wins and one draw in 11 games since Solskjaer replaced the sacked Jose Mourinho in December, a first defeat for the Norwegian is a reality check for United’s revival and they have a mountain to climb when the sides meet again for the second leg on March 6. The English giants will also have to cope without Paul Pogba in three weeks’ time as he was sent off a minute from … [Read more...] about Mbappe stars as PSG hand Solskjaer’s Man Utd a reality check

In any country, driving culture and etiquette, or a lack thereof, is a window into that society. Vietnam is no exception. Here's my take on being an active participant-observer of transportation in Vietnam on a part-time basis since 1996 and full-time since 2005. I ride a bike but not in the city. Yes, I wear a helmet because I value brain function over vanity. I've never owned a motorbike. I am a frequent pedestrian who has had too many death-defying experiences in city traffic to recount in a single article. My main mode of transportation is a car. What is it like driving in Vietnam? Much like the country itself, never boring, always an adventure. What to expect? The unexpected – virtually every minute of every day that you’re on the road. Drive defensively and, when need to be, offensively. Protect yourself, your passengers, and everyone else on the road. A tall order? Welcome to the crazy world of driving in … [Read more...] about When in Vietnam, drive as the Vietnamese do

Jurgen Klopp sent out an attack-minded line-up and was rewarded with a scintillating 4-3 win at a jubilant Anfield, where the emotions were in sharp contrast to Arsene Wenger's misery after a 2-1 loss.Liverpool's victory means Pep Guardiola's City, who were unbeaten in 30 league games between this and last season going into the match - which included an 18-match winning streak - can no longer match Arsenal's "Invincibles", who went the entire 2003-2004 unbeaten.Guardiola said City were not composed enough when Liverpool got on top in the second half, even though they came close to staging a dramatic comeback to keep their run alive."After the second goal they scored two in a few minutes and it is hard to recover from that," he said.
